Summary:[Paul Tracy] finished the 81-lap race in a time of 1:44:12.348, 5.681 seconds ahead of the 2003 series runner-up Bruno Junqueira and 6.375 seconds in front of Junqueira's teammate Sebastien Bourdais. After jumping the start, Tracy used the new push-to-pass feature that gives drivers a 50-horsepower boost, to overtake the Newman Haas duo in Turn 1 when the green flag waved. "I got a big run on Bruno and I was coming up on him hard and he was staying pretty close to the wall so I thought, OK, I'm going to go down on the inside. It is dirty there so when I pulled out the car jumped sideways on me and I had it braking kinda across the track and then it straightened up into the corner. Bruno might refer to it as a `banzai move' but I call it a good pass - it's how I drive," Tracy said.
